One of the best ways to spend late summer and early fall in Michigan is to sit on the porch of your lakefront home. Whether your home is on the Great Lakes, or on one of Michigan’s many inland lakes, the beauty and serenity is unsurpassed.
This dream home does come with some unique challenges. Lakefront properties face several challenges for their foundations. Waterfront soil composition is more prone to expansion and contraction from hydrostatic pressure. That means settlement for your home’s foundation. Lakefront homes can withstand these soils by installing helical piers to lift and stabilize the home.
